Great location for Ironman Cascais. The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly. They helped with bike storage, allowed bikes in rooms, and opened breakfast early so athletes could eat before the competition.

Pestana Cascais Stay
Very enjoyable stay. The hotel is ideally located in Cascais with beaches, major attractions and restaurants within 15-20 minute walk. Hotel design is quite unique given it’s in the old castle. Breakfast good with great views over the marina (watch for seagulls wanting your food though!) As other reviewers have noted, the corridors are long and some of rooms have steps leading to them - not an issue for me, but could be for those with any mobility considerations. Overall recommend this hotel.

The indoor pool had a film of algae in the drains around the edges. The jacuzzi buttons on the indoor pool did not work (1 out of 4 worked). The outdoor pool - At one end in the bottom of the pool was an un-capped drain hole which if you stepped on it was painful. The decking around the outdoor pool was in poor repair. On one side of the pool was a small hole which had such high suction that it could trap fingers or worse, injure a child. As an adult it was hard to remove my hand from this suction hole. this was just below the water level. Other than the dangerous state of the outdoor pool, the hotel was great and the staff were brilliant.

Overall the hotel is ok but definitely not 5*. The communal areas are pretty shabby, as are some aspects of the room, and there is very little atmosphere. We also had to ask for our coffee pods to be refreshed every day. On the plus side the location is great, the building is historically interesting and the staff were friendly.

A highlight of the stay was the staff. We found the staff very welcoming and helpful from check in to suggestions on places to see during our stay to help with restaurants reservations to breakfast. They are a credit to the hotel and Cascais.

the staff at this hotel were exceptional. My son left his mobile phone in the back of an Uber on the way out on Saturday evening and the staff (Sara and the main manager) were very helpful in tracking down the Uber driver and securing his phone back. i cannot fault the staff. Very accommodating and helpful.
